What do people think of those Cascadia 4x4 and Lensun Solar vehicle hood (bonnet for our friends across the "Pond") based, vehicle...

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure if in your reference to "vehicle electronic standby power," you mentally intended to include parasitic draw...

A lead acid starter battery will lose power due to self discharge and vehicle electronic standby power. Worst case, a 100 Ah starter...

Ok, sure, longitude, weather, the angle of the panel (which if on some vehicle roof is horozontal)....length of day, there is no one...
